This was commonly found behind Celicas and Coronas (and also MA45/6/7s). They are the weakest of the lot, but in absolute terms, quite strong. Yesteryear, people used to bolt these up behind Ford 302 and Holden 253 with no issue. The W55/6/7/8/9 are loosely termed 'Supra 5 speed'. They are of alloy case construction. They look identical apart from the W58, which has a cast iron sandwich plate - the others have alloy ones. The one that comes from the Supra is the W58. They have subtle differences in gearing and there are no external features to tell you which box you have. The only way is to spin the input shaft and count revolutions on the output shaft. Here is a link to a site that provides the gearing info. These are somewhat stronger than the W50 box, and the W58 box is reputedly slightly stronger again. The late model W58 (out of a JZA80 Supra) has a larger input bearing than the earlier W58, and has withstood 600+ rwkW. These 'Supra 5 speeds' should not be confused with the 'Supra turbo 5 speed', otherwise known as the R154, from the MA70 turbo. These are immediately identifiable from their large size, pull style clutch and exorbitant price tag. Hope this helps. [Report message to a moderator]
